Made a lovely cupboard, painted every square inch in F&B oil based paint as was the way at the time, must have been longer than 10 years ago now I think of it.
I then moved the cupboard twice, (it's freestanding and knockdown) for the original client and when they moved again and no longer had space for it I arranged a sale and moved it again to the new owners who have painted it once and love it. So a good story really.
The first client was always asking me to price things in exotic materials. At one point I got a quote for 100 year old oak floorboards, they were circa £120 psqm at the time, again they didn't go ahead with it.

I got a price from Moss & Co. 10 years ago for enough oak to make a 3m x 3m cupboard. £3.5k for the prepared wood, reassuringly expensive. Ended up being painted mdf.
